native of -- singular usage.

native to -- plural usage. Used typically when referring to a group of people or things.

Again something to add....
Preposition following the noun or verb depends on the usage like whether it is part of verbal form or noun form. Also whether it is a adverbial phrase or adjective phrase.....

I am willing to know more on this..

"native of" normally used for people while "native to" used for plants...
For instance, I am native of U.S but this kind of tree native to New Zealand.
